Shrek is a total rock star at life. It’s been a little too long since your last update, so this one is pretty long. Lots of videos, and lots of just informal “tips” I have with regards to having a puppy. What we’ve been up to… Going to work every – single – day! Including a weekend of seminaring where I …

When raising a puppy, I want to be a big part of their day, keeping them busy physically and mentally, and having the opportunities to expose them to all sorts of new things can be a challenge if I’m teaching all day.

So much awesome happened on Day 3, that it requires it’s own blog post… the day after 🙂 I’ve been putting him to bed about an hour before I actually go to bed.

Shock was a well kept secret for everyone around me. I wanted another dog, just like Smack, so that I could have a second chance at all the things I …

If you went and checked out my Secrets to Synergy Online Forum, you noticed that I will be offering some online classes this summer. My handling class, Skills that Kill is open to ANY level of dog/handler team that can sequence 4-6 obstacles at a time on jumps and tunnels only. This class is on-going and billed monthly. No due …

Wow, where can I even begin. Such an amazing 3 days in Tulsa, OK at the 2013 AKC National Agility Championship! So many incredible dog and handler teams conquering some really great courses. Congrats to all of the new Champions! I don’t think I’ve smiled so much at a National Event as this one. It was one of the best …

As a competitor, I like to be challenged. I enjoy being pushed to the next level, and training a new skill to add to my handling system. I compete in agility to showcase my skills, to see that my preparations and training make a difference in mine and my dog’s performance. When I see a new course challenge with “international flair”, …
